XLIV - The Struggle of the Humble

"So is that the last place you chose? Gilles de Rice?"

In the early hours of the morning, on the riverbank of the port of Fuyuki City, Joan of Arc silently stared at his former comrades-in-arms directly in front of him.

The knight named Gilles de Rice may no longer be able to be called a human now that most of his body has been sucked into the alien creatures, right?

I no longer know what happened to my former comrades, and what has become

Just last night, when Emiya Shirou borrowed one of Joan of Arc's Spell to return to his true body and went out to find Gilles de Rice, she didn't really sit idle, as the other said, but tried to borrow a computer from Alice Fell in order to search for information about her friend's life.

As a stronghold of Einzberen, the equipment of Einzberen Castle is really not built. Even if Emiya Kiritsugu wasn't here, the existing equipment would not disappear, and soon Joan of Arc took advantage of the help of the two maids to get a laptop and began to search for information.

I have to say that in recent times, there is a flood of information, and it is too easy to obtain information, including things that you don't want to know.

Unlike Rin Tosaka's 10,000-year-old electrical idiot, he has lived for many years in modern times, and for Joan of Arc, who stays at home all day, the use of computers can only be said to be proficient. In fact, in less than thirty minutes, Joan of Arc had completely grasped the matter of Gilles de Rice.

As Saber and the others say, the reason why Gilles de Rice has fallen to the way she is today is because of her.

Angry at her misfortune, but powerless about her death, and in a great unwillingness and self-reproach, he ushered in a collapse of reason, so he went to the edge and became the murderer he is now.

Join forces with criminals, kill women and children who have no power to resist, and use every means to blaspheme the gods. Is it a struggle in the dark? Or is it an outpouring of despair? In any case, it was Joan of Arc herself who forced Gilles de Rice down this path.

"Oh, are you coming? O my holy maiden!"

Most of its body has been trapped in the body of the xenomorphic creature that appears to be an octopus but has more tentacles, except for the part above the neck that is still exposed to the air. Unknown slime covered the once handsome face, which looked like the saliva of the creature or bodily fluids, and it could only be said to be disgusting except for disgusting.

Was it assimilated by living beings or eaten into the stomach by living beings?

Looking at the scene in front of you, it's really hard to tell from the two.

Just the words that came out of that crazy and twisted mouth really couldn't make Joan of Arc, who had been his comrade-in-arms, half funny.

"Look at it! This is this Gilles de Rice, the best masterpiece of my life! Ahh Will you identify with me? Joan of Arc. No, you wouldn't agree, would you?! Look at it, my holy maiden! This is my revenge on the gods who have forsaken you! Fear me! Try to stop me! O God! If you really save zĂ i, then help this girl and try to save these humans from my hands! Hahahaha!"

It is difficult to say that it is the words of a completely irrational person, but it is like a cry in the abyss of hell, to whom he is saying this, perhaps even Gilles de Rice himself can't tell, right?

The only thing that can be known is that these words, every word and sentence are like a hammer hammer hitting Joan of Arc's heart.

After saying this, the man named Gilles de Rice completely disappeared from her vision. In his eyes, all that could be seen was a deep-sea creature of the other world with countless tentacles that was wriggling in use.

"Where were you just now? Shirou?"

"Just get a fugitive murderer to the underworld in advance. Sorry, just left for a while. ”

The expression on her pretty face was neither happy nor sad, as if she was numb, and Joan of Arc accosted Emiya Shirou, who suddenly appeared behind her, without looking back.

At the cost of the second spell in her hand, she once again revealed her true body twenty years later. The pale white robe has long been taken off, the moon-white kimono is swinging in the wind, and although the clouds of the sky in his hand have not left the sheath, they have already exuded a dignified divine might. At this moment, Emiya Shirou has undoubtedly returned to the posture of a military god.

However, even so, Emiya Shirou did not rush to make a move.

Looking at the monster in front of him, there was no joy or sadness on his face, but he was waiting for the decision of the person in front of him

The bell also needs to be tied to the bell. Or, it would be too unjust for her to apply this sentence to the current Joan of Arc, but there is nothing wrong with the fact that the affairs of the parties must be resolved by the parties.

Although it was not the intention of the person concerned, and even she herself did nothing, however, the fall of Gilles de Rice was caused by Joan of Arc after all.

It would be nice if it could be hidden from the beginning, but since it has been discovered by the other party, the knot has been formed, and if it is solved here by Emiya Shirou, I am afraid that this knot will accompany Joan of Arc for a lifetime.

Even if there are thousands of people in their hearts who are unwilling, they cannot admit that the person who can put an end to this matter can only be Joan of Arc and not him.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

"Is that Caster over there? The lady who was with Saber the day before yesterday, you guys are not here, it doesn't feel right. Who the hell are you?"

With a thunderous roar, carrying the king and the young magician whose faces turned pale with fright, a chariot slowly descended behind the two of them with lightning bolts, followed by the heroic spirit with two spears in hand.

To be honest, the otherworldly creatures that Gilles de Rice summoned as a Heroic Spirit were not comparable to the things he summoned in the past, who was only a Heroic Spirit clone.

Dark clouds formed a whirlpool in the sky, huge magic and strange ominous shrouded most of the city, and unknown creatures made a piercing hiss in the sea, no matter how you look at it, it is a level of abnormal changes in heaven and earth, even ordinary people can detect the inappropriateness, if you don't attract the heroic spirits in the city, there will be ghosts.

Even a certain Black Knight, who had been separated from the Covenant Owner earlier, had rushed here because he sensed the calamity, and was now quietly watching the current development from the corner. All in all, with the exception of those who had completely entrusted this matter to the two who had come here first, the strongest combat power in the entire city of Fuyuki had already appeared here.

The conqueror Iskandar, the Irish Knights of Fiona, the glorious face of Dilumudo, and the Knights of the Lake, Lancelot-Garonne. The heroes who befell here in this Holy Grail War are some heroes who have long been known from the mouths of Saber and others, and all of them are rare opponents of the warlike!

If it were in normal times, Emiya Shirou, who was actually unusually similar to a berserker in his bones, might have come forward to fight with them a long time ago. It's a pity that here and now, it's not a good time to learn, not to mention, he himself doesn't have this kind of mood to meet friends with martial arts at this moment.

Although the hand that was originally holding the hilt of the Heavenly Cloud Sword was released, instead, a burst of white light with a domineering intent covered the whole body. Instead of Joan of Arc, who turned his back on everyone, Emiya Shirou smiled and said to everyone, "I'm sorry." No, this creature has already been booked by me and my friend. Can you please stay aside and don't hinder us from sending him to Huangquan for duty?"
